2012 Takara Sixshot Reissue

escutler · 08-16-2012, 08:37 AM

Thanks for the review and pics! I have the original toy from when I bought him in the 80's but I do love the chrome on this guy! Tempting... Also, what was the mini Sixshot in the 2nd to last pic? Was it a WST?

Since they're making such a big deal about the fancy collector box I really hope they used glue strong enough to keep those velcro tabs in place over time. I had two misb Sons of Cybertron sets and both flaps came loose within a few months without me ever touching them so I know Takara doesn't like to use the good stuff.

Got mine yesterday. I love the that decals are still decals (hate tampographed stuff on G1). But the toy really pops. This was a great way to make a nice toy reaaally nice. Glad I sprung for it.

Lots of recent Takara items for trade (United, ROTF, Animated).
